Does anyone here have a tracking of the waymarked not too hilly connection route from Caminha to Valenca? I have found this gps file - does that look right to you? https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/02-caminha-valenca-caminho-de-santiago-novembro-2019-43448339
Hi. On my phone I had a photo from Raimund Joos' yellow german guide to portugues showing the route that connects Costa to Central in Vila do Conde via road 306. I accidently deleted the photo, and my guidebook is with a friend. Can anyone help me with a photo of this route? The quality is not...
Hi Ivar. We are arriving October 11th in Porto. We come from Denmark. Will it be possible to have the 2018 edition delivered in time? Or should I order 2017 now? Best regards Marie
What good advice from all of you. Changing to:
Porto- Matosinhos 10 km (time to see Porto) 1
Matosinhos- Vila do Conde (time to swim) 20 km 2
Villa do Conde - Barcelos 32 km 3
Barcelos - Lugar do Corgo 19 km (time to enjoy the place) 4
Lugar do Corgo - Rubiäes 32,3 km (tough day)
Rubiäes - Tui...
It seems no matter what I do it'll be a long and as short day around there. If I change my stop to Ponte de Lima, which I believe is a truly beautiful City, I'll have 38 km the day after. But I'm quite fit and had no problem at Primitivo so I hope it'll be ok whatever stop I choose. How is Ponte...
Very helpful. Then I will make my steps:
Porto - Vila Cha 22 km
Vila Cha- Sao Pedro do Rates 22 km
Sao Pedro do Rates - Lugar do Corgo 35,5 km
Lugar do Corgo - Rubiäes 32,3 km
Rubiäes - Tui 18,8 km
Tui - Redondela 30,4 km
Redondela . Cancela 29,6 km
Cancela - Herbon 29,6 km
Herbon - Santiago...
Thanks you so much, I Think these are the classical stages. I am seeking to make changes to these steps, because I would like to get quietly out of Porto and because there is Casa Fernanda in Lugar de Corgo and the Herbon monastery I would like to stay at. For me long stages are good. On...
Hi Gillyweb. The hole Matosinhos thing was something I read about as a good solution out of Porto without too much traffic. It does not matter to me at which place I cross back to the central as long as I end up some day at casa Fernanda (you read my thoughts there...) So I would be very happy...
I have read a lot in here about the detour from Porto to Matosinhos and back to the central route. But I am in doubt how to make Matosinhos match with the stages I would like to do further on. Can anyone help me? Here are the stages I have planned - I need help to change the first three stages...
